There&#39;s no demanstration of a mechanism that would make this possible oscillation arise solely from deep ocean, that is pretty uniform and changing slowly as far as I know. If there&#39;s another mechanism that drives the deep cold water up other than rotation of the earth (upwelling against continental sheet margins) or the THC please let me know. the THC could have a long-period cyclical component but something must drive this. <br />(anon. #1)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6718772691289114123.post-90881313900590173452012-11-09T20:00:04.155-08:002012-11-09T20:00:04.155-08:00(sarc&gt; not weird at all. this is a part of the ...(sarc&gt; not weird at all. this is a part of the 60-120 year NAO oscillation that drives the weather around the world despite being located at approximately 180 degrees east and approximately 30-70° north of the &quot;energy bank of the planet&quot; the El Nino subsidence areas. What we should do is to find out where the sinking hot water goes and avoid those in marine thermal energy production. I suggest drilling the Arctic for coal.&lt;/sarc) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
